Around

go in?Where to go?Before Gao Jie had time to ask clearly, he felt a strong suction pulling him to keep approaching the little devil. He only heard a "buzz" in his ear, followed by blackness in front of his eyes, and then lost consciousness.

……

When he opened his eyes again, Gao Jie found himself in a strange place.At this moment, he was lying among a pile of fallen leaves, and the light shone through the dense branches and leaves, projecting into his eyes, which was a bit dazzling.Gao Jie raised his hand to block the sun, but in the middle of the movement, he suddenly stopped—is there sun?When he passed out, he was in the haunted house in Qingheng Film and Television City. It was about three o'clock in the morning, but now... he actually saw the sun?

Could it be...he is no longer within the scope of the haunted house?Or, he was in a coma for a long time?

Gao Jie sat up and scanned his surroundings with sharp eyes. Suddenly, two figures broke into his sight.

They were two boys, the taller one looked about eleven or twelve years old, pushing the bicycle with one hand, and walking quickly with the shorter boy with the other hand.Neither of the two seemed to notice Gao Jie. Gao Jie observed them from a distance, feeling weird and out of harmony... Ah, yes, those two children were wearing khaki imitation Chinese tunic suits, which were obviously school uniforms. , that is obviously a style from ten years ago.

Gao Jie was wondering, and inadvertently faced the tall boy's face, as if a thread flicked in his head, he slapped his thigh, and finally remembered.

That's Hu Jianhui!

To be precise, that tall boy was Hu Jianhui in his youth.Gao Jie frowned and thought for a while, and seemed to understand something.He shifted his gaze to the face of the short boy, and as expected, it was the kid with the missing leg.Reminiscent of Gu Panhao's words at the beginning, Gao Jie had a vague idea - Gu Panhao took him into the "moment before death" of that little devil.

In fact, the so-called "moment before death" does not refer to just a "moment", it may be a certain day, a certain period of time, or a certain point in time.But no matter how long or short it is, it must contain a lot of information.The reason why people become ghosts is nothing more than two emotions, one is nostalgia and the other is resentment.The picture that a person thinks of before dying is either what he is attached to or what he hates. The former he wants to protect, while the latter, he wants revenge.This can be said to be the only belief of those lonely and wild ghosts who refuse to enter the ghost gate, and that little ghost looks like a fierce ghost no matter what, so Gao Jie deduced that the scene shown in his "moment before death" should be the scene where he was killed. process of killing.

Just thinking about it, the two boys rushed towards this side, and passed through Gao Jie's body before he had time to react.This is the first time for Gao Jie to enter the "moment before death". Judging from the performance of the two boys, Gao Jie thinks that they should not be able to see himself, or it can be said that in the "moment before death" of the little devil, Gao Jie It is the "ghost".

The two of them rushed down the hill in a blink of an eye. They were laughing while running, and the young Hu Jianhui would occasionally bend down and grab a handful of fallen leaves and throw them at the short boy. The boy screamed and laughed, with an innocent face .

There is a pond under the hill, and the water in it is a bit chilly even under the sunlight.Gao Jie was condescending, and soon discovered that the water was "not clean" - there were two water ghosts diving in it, one big and one small, the big one looked like a female ghost, and her long hair was floating with the water like water weeds .The younger one was held in her arms, about three or four years old, and its body was unbearably white.

Gao Jie saw everything, but the two children didn't know it, they both cheered and took off their clothes, and with a plop, the young Hu Jianhui plunged into the water.

"Hey! Wait for me!" cried the little boy.No matter how hard he tried to untie his belt, he couldn't untie it, and his face flushed with anxiety.

The young Hu Jianhui splashed freely in the water a few times, waved his hands and shouted at the people on the shore: "Hurry up, hurry up...the water is so cool!"

The short boy finally unbuttoned his trousers, and rushed towards the pond excitedly: "Here we come!" But as soon as his toes touched the water, he stopped again, "Brother Jianhui, come and take me!"

The young Hu Jianhui sneered: "What are you afraid of?"

"I just learned how to swim yesterday." The short boy pinched his fingers embarrassingly, "I only practiced in the children's area of ​​the swimming pool..."

"What are you afraid of!" The young Hu Jianhui patted his chest, "Come down, I'll hold you to make sure you're okay." Then he swam towards the water's edge, and the short boy put his hand into his, and gave it to him. He has a big smile.

Holding hands, the two swam closer to the center of the pond.Gao Jie saw the female ghost slowly approaching her...

The two were unconscious and were talking affectionately. Hu Jianhui supported the short boy's waist with one hand, and swung on the water with the other to keep his balance.The two were clinging to each other and half floating in the water, completely unaware that a mass of black filaments under the water encircled one of the ankles.Suddenly, the short boy's body sank down suddenly. He opened his mouth to call for help, but a large amount of water immediately poured into his mouth.

"Brother Jianhui! Jian, cough, brother Jianhui..." The short boy waved his arms in horror, and the water poured into his mouth and nose made it difficult for him to breathe.

"Xiao Le!" Hu Jianhui was shocked, clasping the boy's body tightly with both hands.

The short boy kept struggling, his face was covered with water, and he couldn't tell whether it was pool water or tears.The hand holding Hu Jianhui's arm gradually showed signs of relaxation, his eyes turned white, and he almost passed out.

"Xiao Le!" Hu Jianhui called out again, but the boy was already unable to answer.He gritted his teeth, let go of the boy's hand, and dived into the water.

……

Gao Jie stood at a distance with a blank expression on his face. He saw Hu Jianhui dive into the water, and when he was about to pull away the water plants wrapped around the boy's feet, a woman's face emerged from the black silk and stuck to his cheek. superior.

Hu Jianhui was terrified, his eyeballs almost popped out, he bounced half a meter away, took a sip of water, and struggled to surface.He coughed until tears and snot flowed out, and when he finally regained his strength, there was no shadow of the boy on the water.The level is like a mirror, and there is not even a trace of ripple. Hu Jianhui's face is pale, and he seems to be thinking about something.After a moment, he took a deep breath and dived into the water again.

Almost at the same time, the black hair tangled up again, and the whole group rushed towards Hu Jianhui's face, blurring his entire vision.He tried his best to pull them away, but those black hairs were like wildly growing water plants, and he couldn't get rid of them no matter what.Hu Jianhui gritted his teeth, simply ignored them, and stretched out his arms to feel in his hands.

The fingertips felt a soft touch, but it was also cold, and Hu Jianhui quickly retracted his hand like a conditioned reflex.The mass of black hair blocked his sight, he hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand again.The smaller hand was held in his hand, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart—it was Xiao Le's hand, and the other party had lost consciousness presumably.Hu Jianhui tightened his palms, raised his breath, kicked his feet, and pulled Xiao Le to the surface of the water.The black hair covering his face faded away as if he was afraid of the sun. Hu Jianhui looked around cautiously, his eyes were full of spots of light jumping on the water, he looked at Xiao Le in the crook of his arm, although he was weak, he was still breathing .

This pond was too scary, he felt his heart twitching, and he just wanted to leave quickly.He had never longed for land so much, but he had no strength left.Surviving in the water consumed too much energy, not to mention he had to take care of Xiao Le... He glanced at Xiao Le again, and a thought suddenly popped up - what if there was no Xiao Le?

Let go of his hand and put Xiao Le down, and he will be less burdened.

The arms that were tightly hugged before were slightly loosened, and Hu Jianhui showed a conflicted expression on his face.He looked down at Xiao Le, and at this moment, Xiao Le's eyelashes moved. "Jian... Brother Hui..." He opened his eyes slightly and called out weakly.Hu Jianhui's eyes immediately became moist, and the strength in his hands increased. He dragged Xiao Le to the shore without saying a word.

However, gradually, Hu Jianhui's marching speed became slower and slower, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.He unconsciously shook Xiao Le's hand, feeling extremely restless.Xiao Le quietly followed behind him, like his appendage, not moving or speaking.Hu Jianhui took several deep breaths in a row, and slowly calmed down... At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and his body froze all of a sudden.He felt... the main reason for his slowing down was not his exhausted physical strength, but—Xiao Le.

He stopped paddling, turned around with his body stiff, and saw Xiao Le floating on the water with his belly up, and at his calf... a child without facial features was holding his calf!

Hu Jianhui yelled loudly, Xiao Le opened his eyes and looked at him with a dazed expression.Hu Jianhui raised his hand and pointed at the child tremblingly.Xiao Le looked in the direction he pointed...

"Ah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" "Brother Jianhui, save me!" He yelled frantically, "Brother Jianhui, save me!"

Hu Jianhui looked at the picture in front of him, his mind went blank.He only held Xiao Le tightly mechanically.Xiao Le thrashed and writhed frantically in the water. He grabbed Hu Jianhui's hand more and more forcefully, barking, and scratched a blood mark on the back of Hu Jianhui's hand.Hu Jianhui seemed to be awakened suddenly by the dazzling red, and quickly pulled Xiao Le to his side.

"It hurts!" Xiao Le yelled in pain, "Brother Jianhui, it hurts!"

Hu Jianhui had no expression on his face, but his eyes were full of crazy persistence. He was sullen and silent, but his subordinates exerted all their strength.The ghost child couldn't see, and Xiao Le's cry of pain couldn't be heard... He only knew, use all his strength, use all his strength, use all his strength to pull Xiao Le over!

"Ahhh!" Along with Xiao Le's wailing, a strong smell of blood permeated the water.

His calf... was broken.

The ghost child without facial features sank into the water with his bloody calf in his arms. Hu Jianhui stared blankly at all this. He felt that the child was looking at him.He has no facial features and no eyes, but he is looking at him with resentment...

Xiao Le was so painful that he almost passed out, Hu Jianhui looked at him with a wooden face, and slowly let go of his hand.

Without looking back, he swam quickly towards the shore, never paying attention to the faint cries for help behind him.

"Brother Jianhui, save me...Brother Jianhui, save me..."
